Reports are that referee John Higgins, known across Central Illinois as "Surfer Guy", is hanging up the whistle for an administrative position. I always liked the guy as a ref, as much as you can "like" a ref. I thought he was usually fair and not all that picky as far as calling everything or touchy as far as getting fussed up about some bench complaining..
